Yes I'm even looking at the document
The Nairobi they referred to was Nairobi county and not Nairobi city
The entire county has 14,719km of roads, if you have taken your time and read further You could have realised it. But you were in a hurry to have something to post.
im not doing guess work But because you couldn't even post Nairobi city road and resulted to Nairobi county road network, I just had to show you how much roads Greater Accra had.
Honesty is too hard for you.
Nairobi county has 50% of all the paved roads in Kenya. That is how pathetic it is.

This screenshot shows nothing can you take a proper one with a heading so we can know the Nairobi the chart is representing?

Based on the reports assessment of the roads status, 45% ofNairobi’s roads are in either fair or good condition, while 55% are in poor condition(Table 1). The poor condition of majority of the city’s roads is a major cause forenvironmental concern, particularly because these can lead either to driving in lowspeed using heavy gear, or driving in dusty environments, contributing to particulatehigh emissions of Particulate Matter (PM2.5).
The Nairobi City County Integrated Development draft plan 2018–2022 (CIDP)notes that the City has 300 km of non-motorized transport (NMT) facilities coverage, 39,000 street lights, 52 surveillance cameras, 22 traffic lights management systems(signalized junctions), 198 bridges, 41 overpasses (flyovers), 15 bus terminus and 96 city county traffic marshals, all of which are aimed at management of trafficand protecting and improving mobility through NMT [7].
rvp2018: Nearly all Nairobi roads are paved. Nairobi has nearly 8,000kms of road. Don't even talk of metropolitan. What is unpaved are roads in Nairobi National Park.

rvp2018: Nearly all Nairobi roads are paved. Nairobi has nearly 8,000kms of road. Don't even talk of metropolitan. What is unpaved are roads in Nairobi National Park.

What is the road length of Nairobi city and how many of them are paved.
For instance, Accra city which is referred to as Accra Metropolitan Area has 1,632 km of roads, of which 1,310 km are paved.
they were charging 25% before because it was risky to loan to people without structures like Addressing and stuffs in place.
But now, with renew efforts from the Ghanaian government to address the identification and addressing systems, Banks have largely dropped rates down to 15 and 18% without an interest rate cap.
Now you can even get commercial loans at 10% as demonstrated by Standard Chartered Bank as long as you can meet all their requirement.
rvp2018: But why are you banks charging you 25-30% interest rate - cedis depreciation and inflation to start. In kenya we have a handle on that. Bank are expected to raise interest rate from 13% to 15%. Anything beyond that will lead to hue and cry.
We dont much of a court challenge so businesses do not have those limits.
We have a lands issue and land cases can take years to resolved but if you need issue free lands, you can easily get them.
As for our macro economics, they are not much of an issue since everything in economics have a cascading effect which can be both good and bad.

The problem is dealing with defaults in a country where collaterals protection is weak. Title deed in kenya are wrought with graft - so if you fund someone to build a house - and you end up with useless title deed.
And then worse our court case is bogged down with huge case backlog - resolving any dispute will take years.
So this is what hails our banking sector.
As for Ghana - GOD HELP YOU: The macro-economics are SCREWED.
rvp2018: The Banks have behaved so far but if they start charging 20% - the bill will be brought back. How Ghana and Nigeria survive with a 25-30% loan is beyond me.
By raising prices while limiting the participation of foreign retailers in the retail market. There by creating enough buffer and a sizeable market for players.
rvp2018: You can have the video. Gov had to play dirty otherwise MPs were going to overturn president vetoe. Kenyan banks remember having been making supernormal profits since 1998!!
